THE PUNX ARE BACK! On this intellectually engaging and yet totally tubular episode we discuss three films by Federico Fellini La Strada, Nights of Cabiria, and La Dolce Vita Our guest is Philadelphia based Writer, Director, Producer HEIDI SAMAN! We spend some time talking to Heidi about her stellar film, Namour which is currently available on Netflix! We do our usual WACK AND ON TRACK gimmick, and then jump into it discussing these films. Joash and I were relatively ignorant about Fellini, and this discussion represents some of that but also got into some cool ideas as well. OurRead More

Welcome to the city beneath the black sun. Lost in a dark world, surrounded by an endless desert filled with countless threats, the citizens still standing are forced to make a life for themselves in a strange and hostile land where terror and wonder wait behind every corner. It’s a hard world for little things, but time has made them hard as well. In the city beneath the black sun, the children have learned savagery to survive, free of the family and rules that might have kept them in check. They feed on monsters. But in this episode, young MikeRead More

Hey all you hotdoggers and beach bunnies! On this super boss summer edition of Got Me A Movie, we’re talking about a couple of the coolest, corniest, and all-around funnest beach movies there are: 1987’s Back to the Beach and 2000’s Psycho Beach Party. Admittedly, this episode is a bit nostalgia-based. Personally, I love all those American International beach party movies from the late 60s – as silly as they are, they’re mostly a good time. Their nonsensical look at American youth culture at the time is oddly comforting; it’s like a big picnic basket full of hotdogs and SentimentalityRead More

Greetings and salutations! It’s been a minute since I last had the pleasure of presenting a new episode of The Mandate, but I’m back with a web-slinging good time. That’s right, I had the pleasure of taking in a screening of Peter Parker’s grand arrival to the MCU in Spider-Man: Homecoming. Now, I know that he technically made his return in Captain America: Civil War but this is the first full length feature for the character with the creative control of Marvel. For this episode, I got with Nick Thiffault, the owner/operator/comic slinger for the online comic book store TrapRead More

Josh and Rob give the “whites only” opinion on things this week; starting light with some abortion talk and thinking that Scott Stapp died, but it was actually that other guy.
